Aground was designed around the theme of Progression, and inspired by Utopian Mining and other mining/crafting games. You start out with almost nothing, and you can eventually build your way up to a thriving settlement.

Currently, you can only explore and build on the first few islands, but we have lots of plans for expansion, and the sky is literally not the limit. We’re continuing updates in Early Access ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/876650/Aground/ ) as we add more content and the first spaceship!

For players who want to play on multiple computers/versions of the game: Save files can be exported from the Options menu on the title page and imported by dragging and dropping the save file into the game.

Reviews

There's a bug where when I attack with my shotgun, I use my steel sword instead. I have tried to fix it but nothing has worked. If someone were to help me fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated because I don't want to throw away my 6 hours on this game file. Otherwise, this is an excellent game.

Use the attack key (defaults to C on keyboards, X on gamepads) to use ranged weapons. Z talks, collects, interacts, and for enemies, uses a melee weapon if you have one, but it will never use a ranged weapon.

For me, this is probably the only game that managed to capture the sense of progression and the insane sensation brought by accomplishing something that Utopian mining had in its core. Easily sunk about 3 hours into the game on the first day. Seriously considering buying this game once it gets a bit more content on steam.
